Where Does 5G Conformance Testing Stand in 2020?

摘要

The 5G test and conformance era is far more challenging than 4G wireless amid a broad range of new ser-technology paradigms. There's a large matrix of test cases that vary widely, and these changes reinforce the importance of adequately validating the device performance on 5G networks as specified in the New Radio (NR) standard.The 5G conformance test spans RF characteristics, radio resource management (RRM), and communication protocol suites, and that calls for flexible test solutions that can eventually be customized for specific use cases and certification requirements. At the same time, it's also critical that both chipsets and devices are rigorously tested under linear and nonlinear conditions across the entire workflow, from design validation to product manufacturing.
